Can't honestly say the K&N roars more than the Oem filter.

But then I guess Kawasaki always sound good on induction roar as stock anyway so hard to improve.

Bike felt crisper though (lol)

I have received my carry case/ coverall for my leathers so I don't have to use bin bags when hanging up and also my gorilla glass for my phone screen as I already have one scratch on the screen and I don't fancy anymore so this should stop that!

Well not technically from the directly from the postman, but last night the lass gave me a framed print by one of my favourite Aussie artists http://emmablyth.com.au/ as a house warming present. Pretty stoked with it, probably not to everyone's tastes, but that's art I guess!

A veritable treasure trove...

Radiator keys, a phone case, a wire brush, some BBQ spray paint, a reflector for the bike, and a kettlebell so the missus can get off her arse and do some exercise!

Not quite but you may just have given me an idea.

Plan is to spend every weekend the weather is OK and I'm not out on my bike, in the Peaks eating BBQ and drinking wine. Kids have got to that age 8,6,4 and 4 where sticking them in a field with their bikes and totally ignoring them for two days is really appealing.

Good work!

I've just bought a 4x4 camper trailer tonight, with all the camping gear off a family that kitted out and decided that didn't like it. Dunno if you guys have them over there, but they are a trailer with a quick set up tent built on top. Kitchen on the tailgate and water tank underneath.

Here's a pic of the main bit put up roughly so I could look at it, has another Annex room full width out the front too, just not up in this pic.

And packed up

Don't pick up for a week or so.

Dude I'd love one of those, but bloody expensive over here. Always fancied one of those South African Bushman's trailers to, but we don't get enough good weather over here to use it much. Plus we don't have any Bush!

Getting it for $5000 Aus incl. electric brake controller, polyblock tow unit, 4xstretchers, two tables and 6 camp chairs, a camp cupboard, and huge tarp and poles to go over the whole thing ( protects from staining if your under gum trees) and they just told me there's and additional 3 X 3m room that attaches to the back!

It's funny how your trailer tents have the kitchen outside and ours have one inside. Well not funny, more bloody annoying to be frank!

That looks good!! I clicked on it a few times and it blew up fricking massive on my super-spy monitor screen thing.

Are you going to put it on the ceiling again???


It's not 'true', BTW...it's off a bit in the frame...sorry, my eye just goes to that stuff like a fat chick goes to a Twinky-'lite'.
